Description:
The Two Brothers is a quiet tale of sibling love that accounts for the origins of Jerusalem. The titular two brothers live on opposite sides of a hill, and each worries that his own life is more bountiful than that of his kin. Wanting to share the wealth, but without offense or condescension, the brothers take turns sneaking sheaves of wheat to each other in the darkness. King Solomon watches with amusement as the brothers' mutual generosity leads to confusion. Finally, their philanthropic paths cross one night, and the love they feel for each other causes a miracle to occur. Solomon is inspired to build a temple on the very spot, and the city of Jerusalem springs up soon after. Waldman's drawings are simple but lovely; the soft, muted tones lend a warm, dreamlike quality to the legend. His story is equally lucid, reminding readers of the marvelous power of familial love. (Ages 4 to 8)
